I take it off. The only time mine is on is when it is in the case. I make sure I practice without it also. Less attached equals less vibration and noice. imo

On Or Off
I always take mine off as i find it as extra weight on the balance side, just a preference ,but I do leave it on while stalking,I also practice normally1/2 my shots with it on. I use the Alpine soft loc quiver which actully acts as a dubbing device from all the soft rubber.It's totally noise free from taking it off to snapping it back in place when I leave. As to what Gammat said earlier by snapping all his arrows of with in a quick span[:@]. That has totally baffeled every reason why I practice[].I hunt some pretty big moose andelk and have never needed the follow up shot.I've only had to take one shot and this year was the 1st time I tried a follow up shot due to the circumstance. With the quiver on a limb hanging I plucked my second arrow with no problem at all .I guess it's all up to the individule,I myself hang mine. Good luck with your choice,it's just a matter of preference & comfortin my mind.

My two piece is always on, and I can't say that I've ever missed a shot because of "less accuracy" that is theoretically caused with it on.
And to say it causes more vibration is also incorrect. Actually more mass/wieght on a bow will tame the vibaration quicker than less mass/weight.
I'd bet that 8 blind folded guys out of ten wouldn't be able to tell if a bow had a quiver and 5 arrows attached, or not!

I hunt with mine on for one reason........follow up shots. I can fire off follow up shots pretty quickly
I can't agree more Jeff. If you are hunting out of a stand that a quiver and four arrows will cause disturbance by being on your bow then chances are you are gonna have trouble reguardless.
